Jeep Patriot heater cold air fix 

Love how they said the customer needed a new heat core. Isn’t that just crazy. Someone always trying to scam us haha. Good work my man.

Bless you! Suffered half this winter w/ out the heater working, only to take a look, and what do you know! The cable wasn't even plugged in to turn the arm. Smh. You're awesome! Thanks for the informative vid!! Plugged the sucker in and BAM! Heater blew like Taco bell on a Sunday morning 🌄

This video warmed my heart - and my hands and my feet! 2014 Jeep Patriot blowing nothing but cold, 30 mins later this video fixed it (and I'm no mechanic). THANK YOU!

I wanted to thank you so much for this video. I bought the same part you showed off of Amazon, I followed your instructions easily and repaired it myself. This is quite an accomplishment for a 52 yro woman lol. I will say the hardest part was trying to screw in the screws of the new part. That took probably a good half hour and a lot of colorful metaphors, but hey, I have heat!! Thank you so much!

Thanks for the video, before I removed mine, I gave it a few light taps with a nylon hammer. It started working again immediately. 😂 I’ll see how long it lasts, but I have heat now! 👍🏻

You made this soooo easy. I’m not handy but was able to install this piece thanks to you! Thank you, thank you, thank you

This video helped me to change the blend door actuator with no issues, thanks for the easy explanation!

Worked for me. Part instructions said use car scanner tool to calibrate. I didn't manage even though I tried so i just tried the AC and the motor blend door worked fine. Jeep Patriot 2015

No idea how you don't have a brazillion likes on this video!! I just got my part ordered for my 2011 Patriot. Your troubleshooting and the steps you took are awesome.

MAN, YOU ARE AMAZING! SANTER AUTO REPAIR ROCKS. My 2017 Jeep Patriot had no interior heat, for three years now. I tuned into your SUPERB video and said to myself that your black plastic box with the white wand could be the issue. Followed your meticulous instructions. EVERY SCREW WAS REVEALED THAT YOU POINTED OUT. Added confidence because I am no car mechanic. I NEVER DO CAR REPAIR. With the assembly now visible, I determined the tubes were hot. My fingers felt the heat. I removed the black box FROM THE VEHICLE. I opened the black box in my kitchen. I pulled out all the gears from the box and lubricated them with machine oil. I then returned to the SUV and tested the unit by connecting the power cord. I STARTED THE JEEP AND ROTATED THE A/C KNOBS.. THE WAND MOVED! IT WORKS NOW. I HAVE HEAT AGAIN! ALL T H A N K S TO YOU!!! THUMBS UP!!! I SUBSCRIBE! THE BEST VIDEO OF IT'S KIND THAT SAVED ME SERIOUS $$$$$. I WISH YOU AND YOURS THE VERY BEST!

Can’t thank you enough. My 2014 jeep patriot has 139k miles on it and I don’t want to put anymore money in it. Winter just started here in Kentucky and this saved me without having to go see anyone. Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I had $600 worth of ‘fix’ that didn’t fix it. You helped me fix the issue for around $20 for the part!! ❤

I’m going to attempt this on a 2015 Jeep Patriot tomorrow, or on Thursday 🤷🏽‍♂️ The part just came in today. Thank you for this video.

Hey thanks for the info!! I just now literary did this to my Jeep because it had the same issue and all I had to do was move that white piece in the back because it’s not functioning , well it worked and now I’ve got heat , thanks again you have save me lots of money on this repair !!! Can’t thank you enough :)

Man I just followed ur steps in fixed my heat thanks for the video you saved me $100s of dollars

Thank you sooooo much for this video. I did exactly as you said and I now have heat 🙂 I was able to do it myself with the help of your video, the step by step instructions were amazing to follow! Thank you again!! It no longer makes a creaking sound as well 🙂🙂❤👍

Changing mine out tonight. Thank you so much!

This really helped me, thank you so much!

GREAT VIDEO. Simple fix. Thanks for warming us up for the cold winter in MT. Just stuck; did not need a new one and also solved my solution when the blower was blowing hot air in summer. Stuck actuator. thanks!!! Mechanic originally diagnosed the car in the summer as needing a compressor. I was able to get the a/c working in the summer with just fiddling with the dial. But now I know the fix if it sticks in a hot or cold position again.

THANK YOU!!!! I fixed my cold air heater because of your video

Brilliant fix!

I've been trying to diagnose a friend's Jeep and really thought the core might be plugged. We're going to go this route and I'll follow up with success or failure for our cold air issue. Thanks for the video.

Thank you! Just fixed my Jeep Patriot using this video.

Thank you so much!! Great explanation, this video is useful also for Jeep Compass MY14

Thank you. Just completed my repairs thanks to your video. Very helpful & you probably saved me 300.00 bucks. My Air-conditioner wouldn't switch to hot. 2017 Jeep Patriot Sport. 😀😀😀😀🙂🙂🙂

Thank you so much for this video, same exact process for my 2016 jeep compass!

Thank you very much...from Romania !

Great video! Worked for my 2017 jeep patriot.

Dude thank you so much, fixed my problem!!! Your awesome!!!!!!

I will try to fix this myself look easy.

Dude I could pay you I would I took out my actuator and actually took it apart and a gear was stuck I plugged it back up and it was turning and I put it back in and now it works thank you so much bro

Excellent video. Had the same issue on my 2017 Jeep Compass. He was right, lining this thing up is a witch. The whole process was smooth until it was time to line up and put in the new actuator.

Thank for your video. It makes me happy))) Winter is comming, but my Patriot is cold inside)) Thanks from Ukraine, Europe

You are a life saver man, my compass is doing this and I had no idea why. Especially bad because I live in an area that gets to -20F in the winter 🥶

Good explanation....thanks!!

Exactly what I was looking for! Couldn't for the life of me figure out the heat.

Dude! I have a car doing the same exact thing that needs repair. Thank you!

Thank you so much brother. You just saved me! Great video

I think my actuator is goin out .. gonna check it in the morning thanks...

Very helpful, thank u

thank you Tom big help.....

This was the issue!! Thanks so much - saved my dad lots of $$ - and it was easier to fiddle with than a PC!

Thank you we went out today and no heat just cold air

I will send this to my mobile mechanic.

Good information

Thank you !

Thanks for this . Pascal

Thanks very nice work. I have a 2009 B M W 750Li .The windows get very fogy if on hot side. the air doesn,t go to fronrt windshield.💌

Hi. Thanks for your video. I had no heat going somewhere in my Jeep today. I thought, man, now what. Well, I started my vehicle again and heard that actuator you talked about and got heat. I wonder if that part is going bad. I always wondered what that noise was up underneath.

Do you have any recommendations on Jeep Patriot 2016, that wasn’t made with the air conditioner. On how to install that or where to start??

This seems to match what I am having with my 2017 Compass Gen 2. But, I get heat in the morning OK. After work, I do not get heat. Just blows cool air, but I can smell something is heated in the air blowing into the cabin.

thanks for the video. what if i have hot air coming form driver side only and luke warm in the middle left vent and the two others (middle right cooler and passenger side near door cold) blowing cold air. all flapps up down deforst working ok?

I have a clicking noise coming from my lower front end when i put on air defrost or heat they all work fine its just the noise 2014 jeep patriot what do you think it is? Thanks mike mcgrath

Cold air, 2016 year. I need to first test both hoses going into vehicle. Stay tuned, need to order temp gun.

Any reason why my 16 patriot has an ac issue where it doesn’t get cold sometimes and sometimes it does turn on blowing full cold air.

Hey Tom, thank you for this video- I’m troubleshooting the exact same thing right now. Did you look at any of the commanded vs actual values of the actuator prior to this? I ask because the vehicle I have the values seem to move as they should.

What’s the little “hand” that’s on the actuator called?? For some reason I can’t find the part.

Mine only blows hot air when driving + temp gauge goes up from middle to hot . Gauge goes to middle when drive (hot air) then gauge goes to hot (cold air). Any suggestions?

The screw holes are broken on the front panel of heater when you pull it out?

Have a click on my 2013 jeep patriot on my passenger side. Mobile mechanic replaced one but it stills click. I am assuming he replaced the one that was not broken.

Is this the same setup for a 15 Jeep Compass? Having very similar issues.

That cover is where I got stuck.

My heat don't turn on. My 2 pipes are extremely hot when I touched them. So it has to be the actuator.

I had a click on passenger side. Mobile mechanic joshua replaced one. I still hear click on passenger side.

👏👏

Didn't have to replace the actuator box, just lubricate the track. When it gets dried out then it will stick and stop sliding back and forth.

So you don't need to remove the bolt up there, I was trying to remove the bolt.

Ok so what happens when you need to fix someone elses jerry rig? Cause my 2009 patriot is missing this part and someone rigged it so that the dial turns to switch the valves but they took out the wire

So I have a "tech notes: installation" paper in the box for the air door actuator. Do I need to install a scan tool through the OBD-2 port for it to work? I don't recall you doing that in your video so don't know if that is necessary or just doing the steps you show in the video is all I need. Thanks!

Thats the part I have.

My 2013 jeep patriot latitude does not throw out heat.

Jeep Compass North heater brackets broken stopping the connection

What year is this vehicle

Now o have not heat

If I was a mechanic i would never fixed a nasty car for anyone

I wish I could detail there car for them Jeeeeeeesus
